The medical complications from it should be enough to call your judgment and parenting skills into question, not to mention the social stigma involved for an obese kid...

Little kids aren't born with food addictions, they don't buy their own food, and are not able to make those decisions for themselves...that's why they are called "children" and you, the parents, are called "adults".

Fish on...

I wasn't attempting to justify feeding a child into obesity,that would be a major problem if it was my family whatever the cause of it was. I don't think people that haven't raised children realize how they are bombarded with all sorts of advertising and peer pressure to eat the garbage that is passed off as food. It's a epic battle between the junk food pushers with their mega million dollar advertising and parents trying to keep their children on a healthy diet. Then there are the junk-food junkie parents that pass their eating disorders onto their children,no excuse for that.
